Favors with Flavor

There are so many little tiny details to planning weddings, that when the time comes to think about favors, it’s hard to tap into any more creativity. It’s not an easy task to think of something small that 50, 100, 2o0 people can take home with them as a little souvenir of your wedding and that won’t end up in the garbage at the end of the night.

Enter the edible favors. Everyone likes to eat, right? My favorite favors have always been something I can eat while I’m there for two reasons: usually it’s something delicious and it’s something that doesn’t need to be (but can be) brought home.

I’m not a fan of things that you bring into your home and that will take up space, not because they’re not appreciated, but because little knick-knacks can create clutter. Now, that doesn’t mean I’m completely against take-homes.

Non-edibles that I do like: succulents. I love them, and they’re a living thing, unlike a bell with the couples names and date on it (a bell, I’m not sure what to do with other than to put it on a shelf to collect dust). Photo-booths (especially the ones that give the options to look at and download the pictures online later).

I guess in the end my point is: I wouldn’t want to spend a decent amount of money on something people would dispose of in any other way than eating it.
